I Won't Admit It....

I’m not sure if it is embarrassing to say where I get my news or not. But honestly, most of my news comes from Facebook. Everything and anything goes on Facebook; important news, recent news, and worthless news. I would say that the major of the news on Facebook is worthless news. By worthless news I mean something like “I’m having a great day” or “It’s snowing!” However, when something impactful happens, it is posted on Facebook almost immediately. I am not a big fan of reading newspapers. I am not sure why that is, but reading New York Times for 10 minutes never seems like an ideal use of my time. But, I’m not saying that Facebook is completely worth my time either. While I was writing this, I was also on Facebook. I was scanning my newsfeed and 2 posts that said “RIP Caleb Moore” went up a few seconds apart from each other. Although I did not know who Caleb Moore was, his death affected some of my friends. After looking up Caleb Moore on Google, I found out that he is a professional snowmobile rider who competed at the X Games in Aspen this winter. This news was particularly interesting because I am from Colorado and have been to the X Games before. I also receive news from other people. One of my favorite hobbies is to have coffee with people to get to know them personally. While talking, current issues and events usually come up in conversation. Personally, I think receiving news from other people is one of the best ways to receive it. But, the only problem is that you cannot always trust what they say entirely until checking with a legit source. This is when the newspaper comes in handy.
